Creative Writing Workshop for Growth - 04.28.22, 7PM - 8:30PM

Join us for our Creative Writing Workshop for Growth at the Be Just Classroom in Belmont. Thinking seasonally about spring, blooming, and new life, Raisa Tolchinsky will guide participants through a 90-minute workshop where you will wonder together over the questions: How can journaling and writing be a tool for our creative expansion? How can we use the practice of writing and reading to nourish new ideas and potential? Participants will experience a mindful and meditative exploration of writing by creating their own works, as well as reading and discussing poems and short excerpts selected by Raisa. We ask that participants bring a writing utensil and a journal to write in. This class is ideal for all skill levels - no creative writing experience necessary!
